Everything from spring training gets erased when it's over, so of course it doesn't matter, but also: The Orioles are 14-2-1 in games so far, and they're getting great performances from exciting young players like Jackson Holliday and Coby Mayo. Mark is here for that excitement, and also the excitement that Corbin Burnes is officially the Orioles Opening Day starter.
